About Isla Burica Lighthouse
Located off the southern tip of the Burica Peninsula, this lighthouse stands on a small island near Punta Burica. The fiberglass tower measures 10 meters in height, with its light situated 34 meters above the water. It emits a white flash every 10 seconds and has a geographic range of 16 nautical miles. The structure is situated 11.6 km from the nearest port, Charco Azul. Access to the lighthouse is primarily by boat due to its remote location.
Why it matters: This lighthouse is important for vessels navigating the Pacific waters off the Panama-Costa Rica border, particularly when rounding the Burica Peninsula. Its light aids in avoiding the hazards of the peninsula and facilitates safe passage in a region with limited coastal infrastructure.
